Indefinite hiatus.

This site is taking an indefinite hiatus.  I know… I know… shocker after over a year without an update right? :)

Pet Loss.

It’s been four weeks since Buddy died.  I am still grieving but I seem to be holding up better than I was the first week; maybe it’s just because my body ran out of tears.  I am still tremendously sad but have been trying to think of the fact that Buddy is now in peace and no longer feeling any pain or frustration as a way for me to outweigh the sadness.  So far, there has been cycles of ups and downs… well, not really “ups” but feeling okay as opposed to feeling nothing but sadness.  Smiling or laughing has been difficult without the quick afterthought of Buddy being gone.  After the first week, work has been distracting me some but even during work, I’ve had hard time focusing on anything.

This was my first loss of a loved one and it’s been overwhelmingly the saddest event of my life.  Aside from the suddenness of the loss that pretty much shocked me into a state of complete numbness, I didn’t know what to do or think.  It was as if my brain went into an endless loop trying to process what it meant when the vet on the phone told me that Buddy had passed away.  The obvious questions that my brain expected to ask the vet that morning like “how is he doing now?  how did the antibiotics work?  when can I pick him up to take him home?” ran through my head but my head didn’t come back with the different possible answers to expect back from such questions like it normally would.

My dog died today.

Buddy Hwang, my dog, passed away today.  He was twelve years and eight months old long-haired Chihuahua with a heart bigger than mine.  He used to follow me everywhere when he could see.  He was very ferociously protective of me yet easy to coerce with treats but was so quick to turn back into ferocious mode after he finished.  I used to play hide-and-seek with him and he would always find me.  Even when he was blind, he would walk around the living room until he felt or smelled me then sit or lay down making contact so that he’ll know when I move.  Somehow, he would always make me feel better regardless of what was happening.  He was diagnosed with diabetes relatively recently and had been blind for the last few years of his life yet his determination and ability to show me love and loyalty was unbelievable and this is what I will miss most about him.

Support Haiti

I decided to take a short hiatus from my 4+ month hiatus from blogging on my blog to request that you support the Haiti Earthquake Relief.  The devastation and destruction there is simply unimaginable.

Every dollar counts.  Every thoughtful gesture counts.  Every prayer counts regardless of your religious beliefs.

Also, don’t forget to check with your employer as they may provide a charitable matching gifts program.

Back to my indefinite hiatus from blogging because I didn’t get the memo that (full) blogging is now lame and you should (micro) blog in less than 140 characters per entry but at a higher frequency.

Worst Loss of the Season.

First, congratulations to LSU and their fans for the win.  As a Tech fan, it was hard to watch the Chick-Fil-A Bowl but certainly, I won’t shy away from admitting that Georgia Tech was dismantled in all aspects of the game… offense, defense, and even special teams.  I was severely disappointed in the way our defense played last night; they simply looked unprepared to play the game of football.  I could easily blame the offense for being unproductive but hopefully our defensive unit would be the first ones to admit that it was their job to get themselves off of the field and keep the other team out of our end-zone.  Likewise, our special teams had yet another dismal game.  Our team was fooled by a surprise onside kick and a fake punt, the latter being during the middle of the blowout which is quite irksome but not against the rules or anything.

This loss in no way diminishes the great season the Yellow Jackets had in 2008.  I honestly expected Tech to go 6-6 mainly due to the introduction of the new coaching staff, new offense, and being the youngest team in the ACC.  A 9-4 season with some great wins (especially to U[sic]GA) brought Tech some high-profile coverage of its season and games.

I intend to keep up with whatever news that comes out about Tech during spring practice like I did for last year.  I am biased but I think there are some great things ahead for the GT football program in the years to come.  I can’t wait to see what our guys can do after a Spring and Summer of maturing with this past season under their belts.  It’s great to be a Tech fan. :)

Happy New Year!

Amazing Georgia Tech Victory!

Tech was down 16 points at the half then the offense clicked into place.  What an absolutely amazing comeback victory by Georgia Tech against our rival!
